Last day of RW as well as the last class we would have as a stream 1A section!! I must say, this term has gone by super fast and it feels even absurd that we have already finished this course. This term was filled with introduction to new things, especially lessons on leadership , and new challenges.
The highlight of the course for me, were the lectures given by the big figures that have proven immense leadership skills. There was a lot to learn and draw from , not only through their message about leadership from their personal stories they shared but also through their composition during their presentation. I know there aren`t many chances for us students to get a chance to ask questions or talk to them, so these experiences were truly special and inspirational.
The amount of writing, blogging responses to the class and the book, writing the final 2000 word essay, really contributed I think, to improving my writing skills. Maybe I won`t exactly say improved, I can`t judge on my own, but this class has given me far more opportunities to write than I have ever had in my whole life. The process of reflecting upon experience as well as evaluating them, linking them with concepts that have been learnt before, helped me think more in depth about what various things meant to me and what I had to say about them. It allowed me to have a deeper understanding about my surrounding and it was a great, effective way of making external information my own.
Through out this course, I also realised how much more improvement I need in my english skills. The comprehending, writing and speaking needs much more training and I really wish I had more classes to pursue them. I guess I would be having less exposure to learning in English from now, but I wish to maintain and improve as much as possible by taking various other English classes and actively reading, writing on my own.
It has been an amazing term with Ken and all the rest of the stream 1A students. I have learnt so much from you all. I hope that we can always remain section 1A, sharing many more moments together and continuing to inspire each other. Thank you so much everyone!!!
Hi Natsuko,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and all your great blog posts this term. You certainly have done a lot of writing, and I am glad to hear you feel it has been important in developing your writing skill. I encourage you too to take as many classes in the CLA that involve both English and writing, as these are important skills that will make you a very valuable person in the future.
Finally, thanks for all the work you have done this term and for being such a great student.
